Closed for Research

Bromine Exposure incident leads to lab closure Researcher received burn from small splash of bromine Cambridge Fire responded After caring for the injured, CFD looked around the space and determined there were unsafe conditions and ordered the lab to cease all research activities until remedied.

The Injury Burn to wrist from drop of bromine Findings Researcher working in a fume hood A splatter occurred after the bromine was poured into a container and a stirring mechanism was turned on, spinning too quickly. Injury occurred between gloved hand and lab coat Rinsed and went to hospital Findings PPE on, but was not sufficient to cover all exposed areas No SOP or written instructions to consider stirring speed or PPE selection

The Lab Space Multiple unsecured compressed gas cylinders Unsecure lecture bottles: hydrogen chloride & sulfur dioxide Chemical containers stacked on other chemical containers in the storage cabinet. Multiple trash and sharps containers completely full Cardboard boxes on pipes above electric lighting Electrical wiring / power strips on floor In need of laboratory housekeeping

The Response Initial response Lab Allowed to re-open Major cleanup of space Lecture bottles and most cylinders removed Chemical clean out Lab Allowed to re-open New policy of weekly down time for clean up Group Hazardous waste presentation Safety topic part of weekly group meeting
